Features

Two-Factor Authentication
We’re pleased to announce an important security enhancement to the ReachMoreParents platform: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). You can now enable 2FA directly from your profile, adding an extra layer of protection to your account.

When you choose to activate 2FA, you’ll be guided through setting up either Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator on your device. Once configured, you’ll be prompted to enter an authentication code whenever you log in to the portal or app.

Things to note:

• If a user enables 2FA, and subsequently wants to remove 2FA from their profile, they can do so via their profile.
• System Admins of a school can enable/disable remove 2FA on a user’s behalf via the Additional User Options area.
• For the app, the 2FA token expires after 2 weeks. This means that user will be prompted to log in on a rolling 2-week basis.

The implementation of 2FA is a significant security enhancement that adds an extra layer of protection to your account and the overall platform. To use 2FA, please ensure you have updated to app version v8.124, released specifically to support this feature.

Enhancements

PEMS
Ability to filter reports by Subject. We have added a new “Subject” filter to the filter options within the PEMS reports.

Aggregate Reports 

Aggregates report: Add a Meals Payment Provider column to report. The School's chosen Payment Provider for the Meal Manager system has been added to the Aggregates export.

Add PEMS data to aggregate report. The metrics for PEMS-related data have been added to the Aggregates Export within Platform Administration. This includes "PEMS Enabled",
"Total # of Events Created", "Current # of Published Events", "Current # of Draft Events", "Current # of Archived Events" and "Current # of Appointments Booked".

Aggregates report: Be able to filter by same options as we have in MAT dashboard e.g. year, term, etc. In order to match the filter criteria of the MAT Dashboard, the Aggregates
export in Platform Administration has been amended to have separate sheets for "Last Week", "Last Month", "This Term" and "This Year".

Aggregates report: Add column to show # of users with 2FA enabled. The number of users who have Two Factor Authentication enabled on their ReachMoreParents account has been added to the Aggregates Export in Platform Administration.

Cosmetic & Tasks

PEMS

SENCO rework. We have amended the check marks against the SEND groups within the PEMS Classes & Teachers screen so that you can now de-select or re-select the groups independently of each other. 

MAT Dashboard

Rename Year to Calendar Year. Within the MAT Dashboard, we have amended the "This Year" filter option to "Calendar Year" to make clear that the data is being filtered by the calendar year and not the academic year.
